Fuck Mojo! that is scary. Sending healing and positive waves your way. I still smile when I remember you recognizing me at greeters on my first ever trip to BM, even though we had never met. I sure did feel welcome.

Fuck! Somebody stole all the tampon money!! One of my many duties is to collect the monies from feminine hygiene and video machines at work. Fuck, Last night all the quarters were gone. There are 5 restrooms and 4 of them had been robbed. It's the janitors. One of the machines is in a secure area so it's not any customer. One of them used his/her key to open the machine and then gently pried the cash box lid just enough to get the quarters out. (With tweezers?) I'm setting a trap. I'll count the money, make a record of it and check the camera in the break room when the money goes missing. It's a casino for Fucks sake. The restroom is the only place we don't have cameras.

Only the boss and I know about this so don't tell. It'll be settled in a couple of days.

Is it the sweet one that brings me a nickle or dime from the floor to show honesty?The surly one that hates his job.The one in charge.The one that the girls love cause he's a great worker but I don''t trust?

These are ALL hardworking good employees. Someone is gonna lose their job.

The reason that I have this chore goes back 40 years. Regrets? Maybe just a couple.

Fucking take care, Mojojita. Wishing complete healing. ((((M)))) And ((((all the rest of you fuckers)))) - I just realized this thread had its tenth anniversary. That's a lot of bumps and bruises and a lot of love.

Fuck, saw some insects flying in my kitchen. I discovered all my rice bags were infested with larva/worms. Had to throw out mealy rice, all of it. 14 plastic bags @ two pounds each = 28 lbs. Insects can chew into/out of plastic bags. I have learned to transfer rice to glass containers (jars) for long-term storage. Live and learn. Fingers crossed, next I will check the sacks of beans, but I think I know what I will find.

Not sure if the Homer buckets are fucking food safe. But there are food storage buckets available. Around here, behind the zion curtain, Smith's, Winco and Macey's carry them. Most online emergency food suppliers have them as well.

by FIGJAM » Fuck Oldguy, use homer buckets for bulk storage.

I heard if you freeze your rice / beans / flour before storage for a week or so, it kills all the larvae in the product. Haven't tried it, but, was told about it.

Fuckin' A, my caregiver has saved the day. She sorted the rice with a tight weave basket I had, she then put rice in the sun on drying sheets, Darleen then sorted the rice again before putting in quart Mason jars. Got 9 quarts on the shelf now. She said local rice growers don't clean rice well. Some eggs, spores, etc... always exist. So, freezing, sorting, and repackaging are required for most grains and legumes. She said she'll work on the beans tomorrow and log it as food preparation on her timecard. People learn all their lives, each person has his own knowledge base and experience. You might want to check those Homer buckets.

OldGuy: freeze rice, beans, flour and such when you bring it home. Let it chill for a week, then put it into buckets with some silica gel packets and seal tightly. I keep several hundred pounds of each and after learning this trick, havent had any issues with bugs.

Another thought: For coarse products like beans and rice, toss in a half a cup of diatomaceous earth, cap and shake well. Used or not, shake the container every month or so to mix it up a bit. As you use the product rinse it well to get the DE off. FYI, DE has amazingly sharp edges (check it out under a microscope!) and basically cuts any emergent bugs to ribbons within a day or two. Harmless to people too, but it is gritty which is why you should rinse it off before cooking.

I live in Utah, and my flours are in those giant food buckets, with special lids which have a spin opening without prying the whole thing off. I also use the big Mason jars, and I have huge glass canister jars I got in Japan. They're used for making kimchee, but I use them for rice.

We have a bay leaf tree in our back yard.. We have bay leaf in all the cupboards, under the edge of sofa pillows and under wool rugs.. The rice and beans have bay leaf in there jars..All foods are washed and picked before cooking.. Some foods are in plastic bags in tins..I grind my own flour ( from nuts and seeds) for each use..

My bug problem i spiders, the little one bit me and the big fucking Hobos scare the.. out of me.. The garden spiders help me with bug control..

When I was a teen, my friend told me her mother made homemade soup, sandwiches and salad for dinner. Her dad dumped the soup over his wife's head, because "dinner means meat, where's my steak?" My first exposure to domestic abuse... I noticed the bruises on the mom after that, but no one ever said a word. There is far more to that story, very ugly shit (they were from the same area of Utah, my aunt was their social worker).

Fuck! I slipped and put a gash in my arm. Now that I've stopped fainting and my hubby bandaged it up, I have to play catch up with my days work. I didn't always faint at the sight of gore but lately it's been embarrassing. Fuck!!
